It's all a mysterious surprise trying to organise things when you don't speak the language. Viet airline office told us where to catch the shuttle bus - $3 each for the 35 km journey. Hotel lady said about $18 for taxi. So we head to where the bus is supposed to be, just down the road, but no obvious depot/office. Several people pointed us in the same direction, down a side street, where we were grabbed by a TAXI driver. No no said Ian, bus. Yes yes said taxi man, airport. Ian showed him the $3 each and he bundled us into his cab, with another lady. Who knows what that was all about, but he took us to the airport and only charged the $6. It was a beautiful drive down the coast, undeveloped apart from the occasional resort - no villages. Guess the road to the new airport (with its direct flights to Russia) has opened it up and there's lots of huge development happening. Would be a great place for a holiday ....
We fly home tomorrow night after the last minute shopping and a serious pampering session I hope - massage, facial, pedi... One brochure I picked up promised that and more for about $25 - 3 hours worth.
